I don't go through life verbalizing what I feel.

At the core of the risk-free society is a self-indulgent failure of nerve.

I was not the commander, I was a junior person, so once both were outside, I followed my leader, because we (NASA) had not put together detailed jobs of people outside. I believe it could have been improved. But it was very successful for what it was.

Every couple of years, we could dispatch people from Earth to Mars.

I think I need to continue to think and plan and marry all of the different things that we could do that make transportation in space from the earth to the space station, from the earth to the moon to space stations around the moon to visiting an asteroid.

Not everyone can be an astronaut and go into space, some people with sufficient resources can purchase and fly sub-orbitally thanks to various companies and for more money (considerably) fly into orbit.

Unfortunately, kids are led to believe things are easier to achieve than they really are.
